Minnesota Alliance on Crime

Who We Are

MAC helps the helpers - the advocates throughout Minnesota who provide safety and promote justice on behalf of victims of crime, including: arson, assault, burglary, financial crimes, hate crimes, identity theft, impaired driving, and more.

What We Do

MAC is a membership coalition of more than 90 crime victim service organizations in Minnesota, including prosecution-based victim/witness programs, community programs, law enforcement agencies, civil legal organizations, and also individuals committed to supporting crime victims. We support our membership through training, technical assistance, resources, public policy and legislative initiatives, and networking opportunities. We increase the capacity of advocates in Minnesota to help crime victims through:

• Training
• Information and resources
